Careers reporting shouldn't be the hard part
Compliance and destination reporting is a recurring admin burden: chasing spreadsheets, screenshotting activity, reconstructing evidence weeks before an inspection or governance deadline. Shine turns the evidence you already need to collect into something that builds itself as your students use the platform.
Students always use Shine free. Paid products are the reporting layer for your institution.

Built with safeguarding in mind
Shine is locally-built and safeguarding-aware. Employer roles open to under-18s require a safeguarding attestation before they can be shown to students. Institutional reporting is anonymised and aggregated by default, and we never share student data with third parties.
